It has been my experience that your confidence in a color and willingness to stick it out make a huge difference. I see it in all types of fishing. Bass fishermen that throw a buzz bait don't always get tons of strikes but if they have confidence and keep throwing it, when they get one it will be good. I am the same with jig colors. Adjust for water color and I stick to it. Usually end up catching fish before going back to the dock.
